Sailing Experience.

I spent my youth sailing on Lake Lanier (northeast of Atlanta Georgia), I've been out in the ocean once in my friend Ron and my 31ft Grampian sailboat. That trip convinced me we needed a BIGGER boat.

Celestial Pirate

A 31ft Grampian sailboat, she's a classic. Ron and I found her covered in pine straw and dirt in someone's backyard. With lots of hard work we did our best to restore her to her former glory. We have 1000's of hours of sweat in this boat, too bad she's just too small.

Poc Ma Hon

A 37ft Endeavour sailboat, she's much bigger. Do you like her name? It's old Irish for 'kiss my ass'. In her previous life she was a charter boat in the Bahamas. She's got Hot water for a shower, A/C for when it's hot, lots of teak that needs work, and lots of other work too... she's a boat after all.

Working on the boat?

You bet ya, is anyone ever through working on boats? Unlike with the red head, with Poc Ma Hon we took 'before' pictures. It may be a while until the 'after' pictures are here.. we're working on it.

Trip to the Bahamas

I chickened out :-( So we spent 2 weeks on the intercoastal waterway around Hilton Head and Beaufort(a great marina and town), even got down to Savannah, before heading for home in Charleston. It was a fun trip, can't wait to go again.
